A special thanks to Chicago artist Caesar Perez (CZR PRZ) for painting up a table top for Right-Brained Studio!  Caesar left plenty of room for RBS artists to add their own images before we put on a final layer of varnish to seal it up.  So next time your at the studio, add your art to this unique and special piece.
